  • Peel the cassava, slice the tuber half lengthwise, remove the inner wooden core, and dice the potatoes into small cubes.

Sounds awesome! 👌 I've tried making fufu before, and one thing I'd suggest is adding a pinch of salt to the batter for some extra flavor. 🧂 It takes it to the next level, trust me... Enjoy!
